Hopefully we will regress to the mean on injuries next season and have nobody on the DL the entire season.

My Statistics 101 class taught me (a looooong time ago)that if you flip a coin 9 times, and it comes up heads 9 times, the odds are no different on it coming up heads the 10th time. This yr will have no guarantee that next year will be better. Assuming there is not some dreadfully stupid thing they're doing now that they may decide to stop doing, that's causing injuries.

And I just want to say something that crosses my lips every time I see that Det pitcher's name:"Fister? I barely even kissed her."

You're right about next year. Should be an average number of injuries. But your coin flip analogy is a different concept than regression.
